What about those that don’t? If it were put up to a vote, then we would at least see how the majority thinks, instead of useless polls. I believe it will be going on the ballot in CA, if not mistaken.
The American model of government is based on republican not democratic principles. Hence a referendum is not available on a nationwide basis. A pro-drug referendum vote by California would not prevail against federal anti-drug laws but would cause substantial enforcement problems. My surmise is that within five years California would become a narcostate and a prime example of the harms of drug legalization.
